Sources have told ESPN FC that Andrea Pirlo will not be loaned to Manchester City now that he is an NYCFC player

On the heels of the Frank Lampard-to-NYCFC-to-MCFC situation last season, there were some eyebrows raised when another iconic midfielder, Andrea Pirlo, signed for the New York affiliate of Manchester City. NYCFC sources have moved to stem the tide of any rumors and have stated that Pirlo will not be loaned out to their Manchester affiliate in the MLS off-season. Given Pirlo's declining athleticism and effectiveness at Juventus, that's probably a good decision regardless of any other factors. Pirlo will join Frank Lampard in an NYCFC shirt soon as the former Chelsea and City man will make his debut this weekend. Wed, Jul 8, 2015 09:53:00 AM

Frank Lampard scored for Manchester City in his final Premier League appearance as Southampton missed out on a top-six finish, losing 2-0.

Classic Lampard. The veteran finished the season as he's spent his career - scoring goals.

Sergio Aguero doubled that advantage with a close-range header into an empty net, having seen three earlier efforts saved by Kelvin Davis. Victory for City saw them consolidate second place in the table, ending the season eight points behind champions Chelsea.

Middlesbrough produce shock as they beat Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

Patrick Bamford’s goal in the early stages of the second half put Boro ahead and substitute Kike doubled the lead in stoppage time to take the Championship side into the last 16. Although there were opportunities for Willy Caballero and Dedryck Boyata, City boss Manuel Pellegrini named a strong side that included the likes of Vincent Kompany, David Silva and Sergio Aguero. Pellegrini turned to Fernandinho and Frank Lampard in an attempt to salvage something, but this time the woodwork came to Boro’s rescue instead. City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Southampton have all been eliminated from the FA Cup. Sat, Jan 24, 2015 03:18:00 PM
